Abstract
Parkinson disease is one of the most common human neurodegenerative diseases. Its importance has led to a large number of studies focused on the development of cellular and animal models for the disease. We first discuss the potentials and limitations of the available mammalian models for PD. The results obtained so far in some alternative models, such as yeasts or invertebrates (Drosophila, Caenorhabditis), that may be used to develop rapid genetic or pharmacological screenings, are also summarized. Finally, we briefly discuss the results derived from novel approaches, such as the analysis of expression profiles using microarrays and proteomic analyses of cellular and animal models of Parkinson disease. Integration of the data derived from all those approaches emerges as a significant problem to be solved in the next few years.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
